Add Docuseek Complete Collection 4th Edition Upgrade to Alma CZ
We have purchased the Docuseek Complete Collection 4th Edition Upgrade from Docuseek. Docuseek has many other Alma collections, including the original collection, the 2nd edition, and the 3rd edition upgrade.

The end result should be a collection with robust MARC records and portfolios we can activate. This is a video collection, and it is important that you work with Docuseek to load full MARC records for the videos--don't just load a KBART, as that…

Add Oxford Handbooks 2024 collections to Alma CZ
Could you please add Oxford Handbooks 2024 collections to the Alma CZ? Oxford is an established provider-partner of Ex Libris, and they offer yearly Oxford handbooks collections in a variety of subject areas. We have purchased the Oxford Handbooks 2024 Law collection, so that's the one we specifically want, but as long as Ex Libris is working on this, it would be good if all the subject collections could be loaded. These should be Alma CZ collections with portfolios and bib records. There are many Oxford Handbooks subject collections in the CZ for previous years, so we think it should…

Add Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law from Oxford University Press
We are purchasing the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law from Oxford (https://oxcon.ouplaw.com/home/MPECCOL), one of Ex Libris's established provider partners, but it is not in the CZ.

The CZ already contains a related Max Planck collection from Oxford, Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law (collection ID 613790000000001626), so I'm hopeful you'll be able to load Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law as well.
